Damarie

Hi everyone my name is Damarie out of Bethlehem PA. I was referred to this site by a friend who was sleeved 14 months ago. I'm so glad she did. Alot of support and helpful information is what I'm finding. I completed an online seminar and will visit the surgeon's office on June 15th. I actually did all this last year and backed out due to not having much support, people telling me "its the easy way out". I was scared as s@!t too. So i decided again to try losing on my own. I did, lost 25 pounds in about 5 weeks but quickly gained back 10 and have been struggling to lose it plus more. I have several family members and a few coworkers who have had weight loss surgery and they all say the same thing, they love it and would do it again. My weight has me feeling depressed more than it ever has. The hardest thing is not being able to shop for clothes where most people can. I have to ask, "Do you carry plus sizes?" And when i do find a place the selection is a small corner of the store, wtf!!

Thank you peach and lili. I appreciate the support and advice. Im gettin the most support from here. Ive only told a few people about this because i dont want to hear all the negativity. It just sucks when u dont have the support of the ones closest to you. I would have done this sooner but the negative feedback i got made me feel like this isnt the right thing to do. Not this time around. Im goin for it.

AussieSam..Thanks. My attitude this time around is Im doing this for ME. My health, my happiness Carolm1965 i wish you a speedy recovery. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks Nikasio. I kno the liquid protein diet will be a challenge but im ready for it. Ive fasted not eating anything thing for 5 days just lemon water with maple syrup so not sure if it comes close
